Kaleido Star Wallpaper: My dream is to fly!

Artist Comment

Please full view, the thumbnail is uber crappy >_<

Another vector wallpaper! Lately I've been making only vector ones, although I am a fan of textures too :nya: Maybe I
like vector walls more because they take me a lot of patience to do. Self torture is such a good technique to get things
done faster >.>

Anyway, I was working on a Sailor Mercury wallpaper when I had the idea for this wallpaper (the SM one was a vector wall
too). I was too lazy to continue the Sailor Mercury vector, so I put it aside and started creating a background. It was
originally a Carnelian wallpaper, but I thought Sora looked better here :) Plus I had the opportunity to vector the
scan!

Made it widescreen because it looks better (more space) :)

The background is made from default Photoshop brushes, modified a bit with the almighty Pen Tool. Of course, I used it
to make the clouds, too. The butterfly is a brush, and I was in no mood to vector that too.

lets see...from the thumbnail you could say that it's a very bright, happy wallpaper, but my first impression in full
view is different, I like the vector and I think you can improve it, I dont know if it is because I'm such a
stroke/outline slave but I do think that here they would have looked good, at least to make emphasis in some spots, like
in her hands for example.
and just one thing....that butterfly just ruined everything else, you can combine vector and non vector stuff while they
make a certain balance, however if you make an entire vector wall and you paste a butterfly on it and it looks that
blurry then it is a disaster.
I like however the overall, or what you were trying.

Ahh, but Sora doesn't need to dream, as she can fly anyway~ XD XD
Good job with the floating things, they bring happiness to the wall~ (even if the theme of praying was supposed to be
serious, a bit of funkiness doesn't hurt~ XD )
I just think that there's something wrong with her eyebrows... her whole expression is serene, but the eyebrows are
curved like she's worried or in pain... >_<
Maybe it was like that in the scan... but a little curving and it'll be perfect. :D
Good work! :)
